THE Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) has confirmed that they will be broadcasting all 52 matches at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations set to take place in Ivory Coast.
The TV station comes to the rescue of Nigerians after MultiChoice had earlier confirmed that Super Sports would not televise the 2023 AFCON matches as they failed to win the bidding for the rights.
NTA confirmed in a tweet on Wednesday morning that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Afro Sports for the transmission of the games.
“Newsflash: NTA signs memorandum of understanding with Afro Sports for transmission of 52 matches of Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire,” it read.
The 2023 AFCON begins on Saturday, January 13, when the host country, Ivory Coast, takes on Guinea-Bissau at Alassane Ouattara Stadium, commonly known as the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpé.
